Oh, and peanut allergies

In our latest live Facebook broadcast, Legal Cheek’s resident journos Katie King and Tom Connelly discuss the story behind the incredible leaked King & Wood Mallesons’ (KWM) bust-up emails.

Earlier this week the firm’s stricken UK, Europe & the Middle East (EUME) arm finally entered into administration. But this wasn’t the story making national headlines. Leaked to Legal Cheek, astonishing emails revealed an unbelievable inter-partner spat had broken out over who was to blame for the demise of the firm. We reveal the story behind the emails that everyone is talking about.

Elsewhere, we discuss the Cardiff University graduate who was left humiliated when she was sent home from Eversheds’ Cardiff office due to concerns over her extreme peanut allergy. But was the employer’s decision the right one?
